Asheq Esfahani (Persian: عاشق اصفهانی‎) was an 18th-century poet, who was part of the literary movement Bazgasht-e adabi,^[1] which advocated for a return to the fundamentals of classical Persian poetry in protest against the excessively "unnatural" nature of the Indian style that dominated poetry in Iran and Persian-speaking India.^[2]

He was born in c. 1700, and died in 1768 in Isfahan.^[3]
